if I print CYAN should I get just that color of ink, since that is one of the three ink colors?
Define "cyan". :) Do you mean Epson's standard cyan, archival cyan, or Pantone's cyan?
IOW, as Adrian suggests, if you're getting ink from more than one tank then you're not printing the exact colour (as skewed by the printer's colorsync profile).
This is why most printers include a test function. They specifically print from one tank at a time. This lets you evaluate the quality & coverage of the squirt, without the specific color issues.
And of course, the reason there are differences in the color shades are so that 3rd party inks can't exactly match them... It's compensated for within the voodoo of the colorsync profile.
